Description
Are children being pushed prematurely into adulthood? Sophie Bissonnette’s
documentary Sexy Inc. Our Children Under Influence – Youth Version
analyzes the hypersexualization of our environment and its noxious effects on
young people. Psychologists, teachers and school nurses criticize the
unhealthy culture surrounding our children, where marketing and advertising
are targeting younger and younger audiences and bombarding them with sexual
and sexist images. These stereotypes treat girls of all ages as sexual
objects, and exercise a damaging the effect on their identities. Because they
see degrading images of sexuality on the Internet, some children confuse
sexual relations with pornography. Sexy inc. suggests various ways of
countering hypersexualization and the eroticization of childhood and invites
us to rally against this worrying phenomenon.
